Clyde's Votes Aid Saloons.
Ralph C. Clyde Further investiga

C Clyde In reg-ard to the liquor in
terests have revealed the following: Is
In no way antagonistic to the aaloon
Interests. Is evasive in the matter of
liquor licenses. Is not an attendant of
meetings of the liquor license com
mittee of the Council regularly. The

Union avenue North, with Clyde's ap

postponement of the revocation. On
